Summary:On the diplomatic side, the White House will appoint veteran U.S. diplomat Ryan Crocker, the current envoy to Pakistan who began his career in the 1970s in Iraq, as the new ambassador to Baghdad. The controversial current ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, will be nominated to become the top U.S. envoy at the United Nations, replacing John Bolton, U.S. officials say. The U.S. military is increasingly resigned to the probability that Mr. [Bush] will opt to deploy a relatively small number of additional troops -- between one and five brigades -- in part because he has few other dramatic options available to signal U.S. determination in Iraq, U.S. officials said. But the Joint Chiefs have also not given up making the case that potential dangers outweigh benefits for several reasons, officials said.
